OPENING REMARKS

Mr. McMillan welcomed everyone to the Board’s retreat and introduced Dr. Megan Styles, assistant professor in environmental studies at Springfield and moderator for today’s meeting. President Killeen referred to Dr. Styles’s comments at the town hall meeting at Springfield and her subsequent participation on the steering committee that helped guide the strategic planning process that led to the creation of the Strategic Framework. Dr. Styles thanked Mr. McMillan and President Killeen and said it was an honor to be invited and involved in the Board’s retreat, and she gave an overview of the day’s activities.

President Killeen then gave a presentation on the University’s Strategic Framework (materials on file with the secretary), which was the focus of the retreat, and said discussions were expected to be thoughtful, aspirational, and transformative. He thanked the Board for their involvement, feedback, guidance, wisdom, and encouragement, and he referred to the University’s bright future. The president gave an overview of the development of the Strategic Framework, emphasizing its extensively consultative process, and listed the members of the steering committee. He then discussed each of the four pillars of the Strategic Framework and said that the University of Illinois is a system of universities and the public’s University. President Killeen stated that the Strategic Framework is the authentic voice of the University of Illinois system, and he gave an overview of next steps in the process. He said that the goal for the day’s discussions was to identify transformative big steps in the implementation of the Strategic Framework. President Killeen then asked Dr. Styles to introduce members of the steering committee to discuss the four pillars of the strategic planning process.

Dr. Amiridis gave a presentation on strategic pillar one, “An Institution of and for Our Students” (materials on file with the secretary), and dis-cussed each component of this pillar. He commented on the reimagining of student-focused teaching and learning, and discussed the importance of relevant content and pedagogy, preparation of competent profession-als and leaders, reimagining of facilities, and supporting faculty. Dr. Ami-ridis then discussed the enhancement of diversity and inclusivity, stating that the University should reflect the people of Illinois in its student body and faculty. He said that efforts to enhance diversity and inclusivity should penetrate all endeavors of the University. Next, Dr. Amiridis commented on the integration of global perspectives and gave examples of programs that embody this initiative. He discussed the need to grow and diversify experiential learning and career guidance and to strengthen opportunities

03_JUL20-2016_009-012.indd 10 4/16/20 11:14 AM


for students to excel beyond the academic sphere, emphasizing the impor-tance of activities outside the classroom. Dr. Amiridis also remarked on the essential role of career guidance for students who are the first in their fami-lies to attend college. Lastly, he commented on engagement with alumni and referred to the University’s large alumni base, noting that engaged students become engaged alumni.

At 11:45 a.m., Dr. Princess Imoukhuede, assistant professor of bioengi-neering, Urbana, provided a presentation on the second pillar, “Research and Scholarship with Global Impact” (materials on file with the secretary). She referred to a study conducted by a researcher on the role of relationship empowerment in addressing health disparities and described the application of researched practices to common practice. Dr. Imoukhuede discussed ways that research applies to components of this pillar of the Strategic Framework. She described collaborations throughout the University that are essential to her work in angiogenesis, emphasizing the resources available at the Uni- versity. Dr. Imoukhuede discussed her research in angiogenesis and treatment of sickle cell disease and emphasized the application of research to real-world problems and the creation of public-private partnerships. She gave examples of work in the humanities and the arts and its impact on enduring problems, again emphasizing the role of collaboration.

At 11:55 a.m., Dr. Sara L. Rusch, regional dean of the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago, Peoria, discussed the third pillar, “A Healthy Future for Illinois and the Midwest.” She began her presentation (materials on file with the secretary) by defining health from a broad perspective as a state of complete well-being, and she emphasized the impact of socioeconomic status on health. Dr. Rusch showed changes in life expectancy by income and described components of a healthy future, and she reviewed the transformative goals of this pillar in the Strategic Framework.

Next, at 12:20 p.m., Dr. Styles gave a presentation on the fourth pillar, “Tomorrow’s University Today” (materials on file with the secretary). She discussed components of modernism and said that this pillar responds to a time of great change. Dr. Styles referred to many crises and reminded the Board that change is constant, encouraging the enhancement of resilience and optimization of resources. She made comments on system theory and said that sustainability is the capacity to recover and thrive amid constant change, and she discussed accessibility and affordability, potential uses of technology, alternative energy sources, and doing more with less. Dr. Styles referred to the slow time line of the research process and concluded her presentation with a quote from writer and futurist Mr. Alvin Toffler, stating, “It is always easier to talk about change than to make it.”

Dr. Styles then asked faculty, staff, and students to read personal declaration statements that identify and define their personal role in the Strategic Framework. After each personal statement, each participant said the phrase, “I am in this framework. I am U of I.” (These statements and a list of participants are on file with the secretary and were posted on the University’s Strategic Framework website.)

Mr. McMillan thanked the participants for sharing their personal declaration statements and said that retreat participants would now break into groups for discussion. At 12:28 p.m., the meeting recessed.

Trustees made brief comments regarding the ideas emerging from the discussions, and Ms. Smart emphasized the need to prioritize.

President Killeen remarked on the rich presentations that were made throughout the retreat.

President Killeen listed issues that the University could potentially address now, and these included rapid urbanization, sustainability, civically prepared students, and healthy aging. He thanked the Board and all retreat attendees for their participation. Mr. McMillan remarked on the development of the Strategic Framework and the extensive involvement from the University community, stating that the result is impressive. He said that some aspects of the discussions that took place at the retreat should be shared with the State and the Illinois Board of Higher Education. He also remarked on the number of comments made regarding the role of the University of Illinois Extension.

AWARD THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDALLION TO SUSAN M. KIES

Mr. McMillan asked leave of the Board to take the item “Award the Board of Trustees’ Distinguished Service Medallion to Susan M. Kies” from the regular agenda of today’s meeting and call for approval of it at this time.

Award the Board of Trustees’ Distinguished Service Medallion to Susan M. Kies

(1) The Trustees’ Distinguished Service Medallion was created to recognize individuals whose contributions to the growth and development of the University of Illinois, through extraordinary service or benefaction, have been of unusual significance.

Today, it is recommended that the Distinguished Service Medallion be awarded to Susan M. Kies, secretary of the Board of Trustees and of the University, and her name be added to our esteemed roster of medallion recipients.

Dr. Kies has served the University with distinction for more than two decades, begin-ning her career at the University of Illinois in 1993 at the College of Medicine. As an instructor and associate dean in the college, she nurtured and encouraged students with her continual guidance and faith in their ability. She also shepherded new faculty mem-bers with her deep understanding of the curriculum, policies, and insight of the rela-tionship that the regional campus in Urbana holds with the College of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

On November 1, 2011, Dr. Kies began her appointment as secretary of the Board of Trustees and of the University designate, and assumed the position of secretary of the Board of Trustees and of the University full time on February 1, 2012. She served in this important role until her recent retirement on June 30, 2016.

Dr. Kies quickly understood the monumental task of the position of secretary of the Board of Trustees and of the University and diligently supported the Board and

04_JUL21-2016_013-072.indd 17 4/16/20 11:14 AM


administration in their role as the governing body of the University. Her duties included, among other things, serving as an advisor to three University presidents; interpreting Board policy to members of the Board, the University community, and the public; and monitoring the use of the seal of the University.

Dr. Kies approached the position of secretary with limitless energy, a positive atti-tude, and an unyielding loyalty to the legacy of the University of Illinois.

In gratitude for her innumerable contributions, the Board of Trustees takes great pride in presenting the Trustees’ Distinguished Service Medallion to Susan M. Kies, a dedicated, admired, and esteemed colleague and alumna of the University of Illinois.

On motion of Ms. Holmes, seconded by Dr. Koritz, this recommenda-tion was approved.

Mr. McMillan presented the medallion to Dr. Kies, who joined him and President Killeen at the podium. This was followed by a round of applause.

FINANCIAL REPORT

At 10:10 a.m., Mr. McMillan asked Mr. Knorr to provide a financial report (materials on file with the secretary). Mr. Knorr gave an update on financial matters that have taken place since the last Board meeting and showed the State’s general revenue fund estimated accumulated unpaid vouchers and percent of the appropriation, noting that it is estimated that unpaid vouch-ers will be close to $10.0 billion by the end of the calendar year. He pre-sented general revenue fund appropriations from Fiscal Year 2013 through Fiscal Year 2017 and showed a comparison of tuition to State support from Fiscal Year 2000 through Fiscal Year 2017. Mr. Knorr discussed billings and collections of State appropriation revenue and tuition revenue, and he showed charts depicting hospital revenue, expense, and net income. Mr. Knorr then presented the cost of payments on behalf and commented on payment delays, increasing costs of health care, and the State of Illinois employees’ group health insurance liability. He presented data reflecting the State’s unfunded public pension obligations and stated that $22.1 bil-lion is allocated to the State University Retirement System (SURS). He showed the cost of SURS payments on behalf and indicated that the State is obligated to pay this.

Mr. Knorr told the trustees that the “Gray Book,” which includes academic administrative appointments, and the “Green Book,” which includes the Fiscal Year 2018 budget request, will be presented for Board consideration at the September meeting, and said that the “Orange Book,” which would include the Fiscal Year 2017 budget summary of operations, will likely not be available because of uncertainties surrounding the State appropriation.

Dr. Burbules commented briefly on the consideration of the roles of vice presidents at the University and the change from a vice president for health affairs to a vice chancellor for health affairs.

Resolution for Christophe Pierre

(2) To: Christophe PierreYou will be remembered with deep gratitude for your many notable contribu-

tions during your tenure as vice president for academic affairs at the University of Illinois.

Since October 2011, you have served as a trusted advisor to three presidents and collaborated with chancellors and provosts to ensure the University system’s excellence despite historic financial challenges. Your commitment and creativity have helped imple-ment operational efficiencies, structural reforms, and budget review processes that have channeled precious resources to support the high-quality academic and student pro-grams that are synonymous with the University of Illinois system.

At the same time, you have been a leading advocate for student access and afford-ability, including two straight years of tuition freezes for incoming Illinois freshmen and increased enrollment across the system’s three universities.

Your tireless dedication to the University’s core missions has helped shape a host of key academic initiatives and policies. They include working closely with the provosts, the faculty advisory committee you created, and faculty from the University Senates Conference to define academic strategy and ensure that faculty, staff, and students work and express their ideas in a collegial academic environment; an enhanced President’s Award Program and successful recruitment efforts that have helped increase enrollment of underrepresented groups; and cooperation with IBHE presidents and chancellors in prioritizing issues that are important and relevant to the higher education community across Illinois.

Another important initiative that you developed is the Academic Unit Review, which identifies key indicators of scope, productivity, quality and costs in teaching and research units. This information is invaluable in determining performance potential for units across the campuses.

Your unwavering support of faculty research in higher education reflects your personal experience as a leader in breakthrough academic research. Your work within mechanical and aerospace engineering has garnered support from many prestigious funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation and NASA.

Christophe, your life experiences, cross-cultural awareness, professional stature, and outstanding personal qualities have enriched and enlivened the University. You are engaging, energetic, outgoing, articulate, well-informed, and committed to working col-laboratively for the collective good of all. And as a valued colleague, your keen sense of humor is always most appreciated.

04_JUL21-2016_013-072.indd 22 4/16/20 11:14 AM


At this time the Board of Trustees, President Timothy L. Killeen, faculty members, students, and staff members express their appreciation to you for your five years of devoted service as an exemplary administrator and faculty member of the University of Illinois. We wish you the very best as a new chapter in your life begins, and extend warm wishes to you, Myriam, and your family.

On motion of Ms. Holmes, seconded by Ms. Smart, this resolution was adopted.

Resolution for Lawrence B. Schook

(3) To: Lawrence B. SchookYou have been a part of the University of Illinois since the mid-1980s when you first

came to Urbana after earning your PhD at Wayne State University and holding various positions in Michigan and Virginia. Then you went to Minnesota, but came back to us to take the University of Illinois by storm in the field of genomic biology. You were awarded the Edward William and Jane Marr Gutgsell Professorship in 2007 to reflect your outstanding work in comparative mammalian genomics and applications of technologies to create biomedical models. Your funding for sponsored research has exceeded $25 million and includes significant support from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and industry. Your publications number in the hundreds, and you have mentored more than 80 students and 35 postdoctoral fellows. Your leadership of the international pig genome-sequencing project led to a physical map of the pig genome, which has had a significant impact on both agriculture and human health.

During this period you found the time to launch two startup companies, become a fellow at the Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership, and serve as an advisor to corporations, universities, and nongovernmental and governmental agencies. You serve on multiple boards, both academic and industrial.

You led the effort to develop UI LABS, a first-of-its kind research and innova-tion accelerator that spun out of the University of Illinois. Your leadership helped bring together a consortium of more than 500 partners, companies, and supporting organizations to create the Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute, a $320.0 million research institute designed to transform manufacturing in the United States.

Your vision as vice president for research helped advance the economic develop-ment mission of the University to drive innovation, economic prosperity, and competi-tiveness across the State of Illinois. Your efforts to strengthen the University’s innovation pipeline through the Offices of Technology Management, IllinoisVENTURES, Enter-priseWorks, and Research Park, and through partnerships with both public and private entities has bolstered the University’s impact, shepherding the movement of ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace.

You will take advantage of your return to the faculty to continue to develop new animal models to address the unmet need in cancer research, helping to improve treatment options and the odds for cancer patient survival. We have no doubt that you will have continued success here at the University of Illinois, and we look forward to your next big idea.

Those who have worked with you have been impressed by your humble demeanor, willingness to give candid criticism, boundless energy, and enthusiasm for the University of Illinois.

At this time the Board of Trustees, President Timothy Killeen, faculty members, students, and staff members extend warm wishes to you, your wife Frances, your children and grandchildren, and wish you all the best.

On motion of Ms. Holmes, seconded by Ms. Smart, this resolution was adopted.
